Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The West Yorkshire Combined Authority has completed a procurement process titled "Cloud Configuration Improvements" which primarily focuses on the enhancement of cloud infrastructure, security, and operational efficiency across Microsoft Azure and Microsoft 365 platforms. This process falls under the systems and technical consultancy services category with additional emphasis on computer support and consultancy services. The procurement was conducted through a selective procedure, specifically a restricted procedure. The tender, initially closing on 20th May 2026, concluded with the award on 10th June 2026. The contract spans from 3rd June 2026 to 3rd June 2029, with a location scope inclusive of the United Kingdom and its overseas territories.

This procurement presents substantial opportunities for business growth, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in cloud systems consultancy and technical services. Given the contract value of £85,000, it provides a significant project for businesses capable of improving cloud configurations and ensuring robust security. Large enterprises such as the supplier Little Fish (UK) Limited, who successfully secured this contract, are typical contenders; however, SMEs with a strong track record in similar projects would be well-positioned to compete in future tenders of this nature.
